Fitting Out a Pharmacy's Technology From Bare Walls

The challenge

A pharmacy cannot open without working technology, and it cannot operate on consumer-grade equipment — prescriptions, patient records and regulatory obligations all run through the same infrastructure. There was nothing in place, and a fixed opening date.

Where we came in

Fit-outs go wrong when the cabling is treated as someone else's job. We took the whole stack, from the rack on the wall through to the workstation on the counter, so there was no seam between trades for a problem to fall into — and put power protection in at the start, because a dispensing environment losing power mid-transaction is not a theoretical concern.

What we did

• Ran an intake checklist and readiness verification before attending site
• Installed structured cabling and mounted a wall rack as the physical foundation
• Racked and configured the network gateway and switching
• Installed uninterruptible power protection alongside the network hardware
• Deployed point-of-service workstations, professional displays and specialised pharmacy equipment
• Configured network security as part of the build rather than a later pass

Where it landed

• The pharmacy opened on a professionally cabled, properly racked network rather than an improvised one
• Point-of-service, display and dispensing equipment were commissioned as one coordinated deployment
• Power protection and network security were part of the original build, not retrofitted
